Schumer: ‘Today Senate Democrats Take Additional Action to Try and Uncover the Truth About the Epstein Files’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: "Now, I come to the for this morning with some news. Today, Senate Democrats take additional action to try and uncover the truth about the Epstein files. This morning, I joined all of my Democratic colleagues on the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee in invoking a century-old law known as the 'rule of five' to compel the Department of Justice to release the full and complete Epstein files, which to date, of course, they have refused to be transparent about. Under federal law, when any five senators on the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee call on the executive branch to release investigative documents, they must comply. Our request covers all documents, files, evidence or other materials in the possession of the Department of Justice or the FBI related to the case of United States v. Jeffrey Epstein. This includes records and documents related to Epstein and his clients, while ensuring that the private information of any victims is protected. We expect the Trump Administration to provide these documents by August 15th.”
